Topic: RE: Moderation VS. Strict Diet

How many of you eat what you want just with moderation and portion control?

And then how many of you are on a strict diet?

Topic: RE: Desperately need to vent and advice!

Just spoke with my surgeons office, she said that it doesn't sound like a Stricture because I'm able to keep some fluids down.. She wants me to eat some yogurt, wait and then drink and then to call her back to see how I did with it. She also said that not taking my protonix could be a big reason why I feel nauseous all the time. Which I haven't been taking my protonix because swallowing pills has me throwing up and very sick hours after I've taken them.

I still just feel like things getting stuck in my throat the way it has been isn't normal. Like something must be wrong. I don't know.

I ended up not going to the Emergency Room, just the doctors. They said that if I start getting dizzy when I stand up, etc. to go straight to the ER.

I believe it is a stricture, I'll be calling my surgeon first thing in the morning. My Family doctor couldn't order then endoscopy because she wasn't the one who did my surgery.

Unfortunately, no.

I haven't ate anything in 4 days. The last I ate was applesauce, which was last Thursday, I didn't even eat a teaspoon and I throw the little tiny bit I did eat up. Drinking water makes me feel nauseous as well. I was at the doctor today and they almost sent me to the ER for dehydration. They want me to contact my surgeon first thing tomorrow to schedule something for an endoscopy, so that's the next step.

Thank you! ?

Thank you so much! ?

I also want to ask you- Is there an app for this group? I'm using the browser and it's a pain. Lol.

I hate to admit this and I feel like an absolute failure (which probably adds to my depression), but I've been trying out solid foods. I'm fully aware that I did this to myself (me feeling sick, that is) because I've been knowingly doing things wrong.

However, the only uncomfortable feeling I'm having a HUGE issue with is food getting stuck in my esophagus, which then will make me throw up. They say it's normal, but does it ever go away?

Thank you all! ?

I have another question- Is there an app for this support group and if so, what is it called?

I'm using my internet browser and it's a pain. Lol.

Topic: RE: Just had vsg done and I regret it

I had gastric bypass on September 22nd and I feel the exact same way you do! I literally cry every day. I lost over 50 pounds myself during the 6 month weight checks and my family thinks I should have just done it myself instead of going through with this surgery. I am struggling with mental illness since I had this done, I feel so depressed. I just want to go back to normal!

Hello!

I had Gastric Bypass Surgery on September 22nd and I am absolutely miserable! I'm regretting this tremendously! Everything I eat gets stuck and I imagine it's from not chewing well enough and/or eating too fast. But it's not just when I eat solid foods, it also happened once when I drank water, then another time was when I was eating tuna solid.. I literally throw up like 2-3 times a day.

I'm dreading Thanksgiving because we're hosting this year and making all this yummy food and I'm barely going to be able to eat. And it's not the small portions that bothers me, it's the food getting stuck in my esophagus that really annoys me.

My mental health is not doing too good. I've suffered with depression before this and thought that this would help because who doesn't want to be thin and better looking? But now I'm starting to find that I was happier eating what I want, when I wanted. I'm just not the same. I don't want to do anything anymore, nor have the energy to do so. I cry almost every single day. Sad thing is, I could've did this without the surgery. I lost over 50 pounds on my own in 6 months before I got the surgery. I got the surgery to speed things along, I suppose. I'm just truly regretting this.

Please tell me this gets better? Please tell me my body will eventually be back to normal?
